Tips

Keep bread tightly closed in original packaging and store at room temperature.
Refrigerator storage is not recommended, as bread will quickly dry out and become stale — for longer-term storage, freeze bread instead.
To freeze, overwrap original packaging with heavy-duty aluminum foil or place in a heavy-duty freezer bag to prevent freezer burn.
Freezer time shown is for best quality only — foods kept constantly frozen at 0° F will keep safe indefinitely.
